PA UC payment processed yesterday - will I receive funds tomorrow after hardship approval?

The timing depends on whether you're getting your benefits on the Money Network card or direct deposit to your bank account. If it's direct deposit, it usually takes 2-3 business days after processing. For the Money Network card, funds typically appear next business day after processing. So if it processed yesterday, there's a good chance you'll see it tomorrow if you're using the card. Since this is your first payment, it might include several weeks of backpay all at once, which is good news for your bills!

congrats on getting thru! u got lucky talking to a supervisor. same thing happened to my boyfriend last month but took 8 weeks not 6

If your payment was processed yesterday (3/21) and you're on direct deposit, typically the funds will be available by Tuesday (3/25) at the latest. Banks don't process ACH transfers on weekends, so that's why there's a slight delay. For anyone else reading who's stuck in a similar situation with an extended review period, filing a hardship claim is definitely the right approach, especially if you're facing immediate financial difficulties like possible eviction or utility shutoffs. The key is to speak directly with a representative who can escalate your case. Also, make sure your bank information is 100% accurate in the system. I've seen payments delayed by incorrect routing numbers or account numbers.

I've been stuck in the PA UC system for WEEKS trying to get anyone on the phone about my appeal. It's absolutely RIDICULOUS how impossible it is to reach them!!! I call at exactly 8am when they open and still get the busy signal or the "call volume too high" message. Is there some secret phone number I don't know about? How did you manage to actually speak to a real person?

When I got my backpay after a long wait, it hit my account around 3am on the second business day after processing. So if yours processed Friday, probably Tuesday morning it'll be there. Just be ready - if you owe state or federal taxes, child support, or certain other government debts, they might take some out before you get it. I was expecting like $4,800 in backpay and only got $3,900 because of state tax withholding and a debt offset I didn't know about. Also, don't forget you're gonna need to do your work search activities EVERY WEEK even while waiting for payment approval. I messed that up and lost a week of benefits.

my payment always hits on wednesday no matter what day they process it. weird how everyones experience is different

Congrats on getting through! Quick question - did they mention anything about your back weeks? Like, did you have to do anything special to claim those? I'm in week 3 of waiting and getting worried.

Just for future reference, for anyone reading this thread - when your claim is stuck in review, here's what you should do: 1. Keep filing your weekly claims on time, every week 2. Document ALL work search activities (PA requires at least 3 per week now) 3. Call the UC service center as early as possible (right at 8am) 4. If you're facing financial hardship (eviction, utility shutoff, etc.), specifically ask for a hardship review 5. If the first rep can't help, politely ask to speak with a supervisor 6. Check your dashboard daily for updates 7. Make sure your contact info is current in the system The system is frustrating but persistence pays off eventually.
